Abstract

University libraries have taken big steps towards becoming e-learning resource centers. They have acquired substantial e-learning materials, created electronic format bibliographical records, and have made tremendous efforts to integrate digital libraries with e-learning systems. The shift in the production of books to include electronic versions has made it necessary for librarians to carefully consider the economics of ebook models and the preferences of users to appropriately balance the acquisition of print and electronic formats. In order for collection development and information organization for librarians to justify the adoption for electronic materials, universities libraries need to determine in electronic materials satisfy the information needs of patrons. One method to determine this is to measure electronic materials usage.
